OBJECTIVE: Imaging follow-up (FU) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is usually performed by periodic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of CT-FU after EVAR. METHODS: In this study, 279 of 304 consecutive patients (261 male, aged 74 years (interquartile range (IQR): 70-79 years) with a median abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diamet

Objective To assess the incidence of second brain tumours in patients operated and irradiated for pituitary tumours. Design and patients The study base consisted of a consecutive series of 325 patients operated and irradiated for pituitary tumours, excluding patients with acromegaly and Cushing's disease. Comparison was made with the general population from the same catchment area as the patients.

AIM: The aim of this paper was to define the incidence of disease progression of the contralateral internal carotid artery (CICA) in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to identify factors influencing disease progression. METHODS: Patients from our primary catchment area that had undergone CEA between 2002 and 2005 were included. The study cohort was divided in four groups based

Risk of breast cancer is temporarily elevated shortly after pregnancy and the available limited data suggest that a family history of breast cancer may reinforce the risk. We used the nation-wide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to estimate the relative risk (RR) for invasive breast cancer following childbirth among women with or without a family history. The RRs were defined using Poisson regressio

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension may result in significant morbidity and mortality after pediatric cardiac surgery. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and outcome of severe pulmonary hypertension, defined as a ratio of pulmonary to systemic arterial pressure equal to or greater than 1.0, after cardiac surgery in children. METHODS: Data from all children younger than 18 ye

Viking Age silver is a useful tool for tracing various aspects of the society. Contact networks, trade organization, society structure, economic variation etc. This paper concentrates on the so-called Permian rings, which appear in Scandinavian silver hoards from Early Viking Age. Their main concentration is, however, in the regions west of the Ural Mountains in Russia. As the rings found in Russi

The clinical utility of microfluidic techniques is often hampered by an unsatisfying sample throughput. Here, the effect of inertial forces on acoustofluidic particle sorting at high sample throughputs is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Polystyrene particles are acoustically prefocused to obtain precise trajectories. At increased flow rates it is observed that the particle stream is

This essay is based on an observation, made by the author, that the scenes in Malmö for rap battles and roast battles have actors in common. To identify and discuss why that is, the essay will conduct an aesthetic analysis and compare common tools used by rappers and comedians in the respective scenes. The analysis relies on discussions and theories about music as a performance and the term “music

Samråd är ett obligatoriskt moment i den svenska samhällsplaneringen i dag. Samtidigt visar forskning att det lagstadgade samrådet inte är tillräckligt för att skapa ett medborgardeltagande som har inflytande och är representativt. Uppsatsen har studerat metoder för medborgardialog i Stockholms stads projekt Fokus Skärholmen. Eftersom Fokus Skärholmen är ett pilotprojekt för socialt hållbar stadsuConsultation is a mandatory element in Swedish community planning today. At the same time, research shows that the statutory consultation is not sufficient to create a civic participation that is influential and representative. The thesis has studied methods for citizen dialogue in the City of Stockholm's project Fokus Skärholmen. Since Fokus Skärholmen is a pilot project for socially sustaina

In the aftermath of the 2011 Bahraini uprising, many activists were forced into exile. This thesis is based on Skype interviews with exiled activists from Bahrain, who continue to engage with activism in exile. By discussing the research question of how political voice changes when an activist is forced into exile, the aim of the study is to better understand the dynamics of activism in the contex

This chapter explores how an undergraduate elective course employs a community of practice to change students’ perceptions on sustainable entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the authors conducted a case study of an undergraduate elective course in a Swedish business school re-designed to adopt sustainability and sustainable entrepreneurship education. The authors found evidence that, when students

Owing to recent developments in CMOS technology, it is now possible to exploit tomographic microscopy at third-generation synchrotron facilities with unprecedented speeds. Despite this rapid technical progress, one crucial limitation for the investigation of realistic dynamic systems has remained: A generally short total acquisition time at high frame rates due to the limited internal memory of av
